Kit Eldridge, age 56, a pillar of health and healthy lifestyle, died 16 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died peacefully at home in the arms of Audrey Eldridge, his best friend of 35 years, and wife for 25 of those years. Theirs was a truly rare and amazing relationship....

Kit was the best member Ute Lakes ever had, and a great friend. I will miss him.

From one of the "Other side of the tracks" folks who grew up with and knew Kit way before most of folks in town: We miss you and hope the fishing is grand where you are now. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Kit and I go back to the "renaissance" age of high school. He was a great friend and I will never forget his kindness. He helped me through many of my personal struggles. I will always have a special place in my heart for him, and Audrey my thoughts and prayers
go out to you and your daughter.

You will find few individuals with the dedication to excellence and quality of work such as Kit Eldridge. A man among men.
Kit did his best to ensure that every single person who trusted him with their time, attention, or money was happy with their investment. If they were not, Kit would do everything within his power to do right by them without delay.
I am a better person for having had the opportunity to know, learn from and work with this genuinely good and hard...

It was my privilege to know Kit,to be able to see first hand some of the beautiful homes and spaces he created with his hands. I will remember how his eyes would light up as he told me about his next adventure with Audrey. He made friends easily with that radiant smile and countless acts of kindness.
His body has left us but I believe that his kind and loving spirit was showered on all of us and will live on through us.
May fair winds and calm sparkling seas carry you...

Kit always smiled and waved as he drove past my home on his way to Ute Lakes. I lost my husband a few years ago, and Kit always kept an eye out for my well being. If I was in the driveway or horse corrals, he would sometimes stop just to ask how I was doing. He was kind enough to help me bury a kitty I lost when I wasn't able to dig the hole. What a fine gentleman. I will miss seeing his white Ford pickup, his broad smile, and hearty wave. My thoughts are with you and your family, Audrey.

Audrey,
I wish that I had spent more time with Kit. To me, he will always seem a part of you. You seemed so in tune with each other. It was beautiful to see or hear about the two of you together.
Of course, I offer my condolences. Pancreatic cancer strikes out of the blue and with devastating consequences. Maybe someday we will vanquish it, but not in time for you and Kit.
You must cherish what you had together and miss it terribly.
I know that I can't say anything...
